I got the impression from another thread that a lot of people weren't big fans of it here.
Obviously the engine feels dated, significantly more so than the original Doom despite coming out only a year before. And the level designs leave a lot to be desired (way way too many confusing mazes and same looking halls). Not to mention you couldn't turn on a dime, so the primary strategy was stepping slightly into the doorway, then retreating and waiting for the enemy to walk into your line of fire. Definitely not as fast-paced as Doom's gameplay.
So what's your guys's thoughts on Wolfenstein's place in history?

I don't know anyone personally who still plays Doom, otherwise I would probably run through it on co-op. It sounds a lot easier than trying to tackle it alone.
This is why I always keep two saves. One at the beginning of the level, and one that I save over as I continue to progress through the level. That way if my one save gets in a position where I'm screwed, I can load up the beginning of level one without having to lose all my guns.

Well, I went ahead and completed the entirety of The Ultimate Doom on Ultra-Violence, and found it really, really easy to be honest, aside from one or two levels on episode 4 that were kind of tricky. It was certainly a lot easier than Wolfenstein 3D on the hardest difficulty (mostly due to the more dated engine).
That said, I don't have the patience to spend weeks and weeks memorizing enemy and item location, and other knowledge needed to run through the game on Nightmare. I think I'll pass lol.

That is nuts, I could probably spend 5 years working on that and not get as good as he is.
Maybe I'll just stick with Ultra-Violence lol, I think it's what the developers intended the hardest difficulty to be anyways.

I'm thinking about giving it a shot after I finish up my playthrough of SoD on I am Death Incarnate!
But I imagine Nightmare is far more difficult than Wolfenstein 3D's hardest difficulty. Who has beaten Doom all the way through on Nightmare and what can I expect? Also, any tips?

I just installed a second NIC in my PC, running win98se all was happy until just now, when sound absolutely refused to come out of my speakers. I got a feeling that its the second NIC. Any help? By the way, im using the second nick so that i can share my Cable connection with my brothers PC.
